    Coming In The Clouds

    Where it says He will come up as clouds, in clouds or riding on a cloud, most of the time it refers to God's coming in judgment. The imagery cannot be seen as God literally sitting on a cloud at His coming. Cloud or clouds represents God's presence. And every time He came in judgment, He usually used another nation to overtake another.

    In most cases if refers to God in or on a cloud getting ready to judge a nation.

    Christ was seen on the clouds outside of Jerusalem in A.D. 66, at the start of the Jewish War.

    Historian Josephus describes a heavenly army in the clouds much like the army Jesus leads in Revelation 19:11-14. Tacitus also mentions this event: "In the sky appeared a vision of armies in conflict, of glittering armour." Pseudo-Hegesippus also describes the coming of Christ on the clouds with His mighty angels.
